I began this day with a time of prayer, confession and repentance for the sins in my life that I desperately needed forgiven.  And, like the woman caught in the act of adultery, "they are many."  It is my hope and prayer that I will begin each day with a time of cleansing, a time of confession and refreshment and the feeling of freedom that comes from having my sins covered by His incredible grace.

But often I find I am too busy, too lazy, and too proud to come to Him early in the morning.  Why?  Because I'm too busy, too lazy and too proud— actually, too stupid to begin my day communing with the Creator of the Universe and the One who holds me in His hand.  But I have prayed, and am praying, this will change and for the next 40 days I will develop, or He will develop in me, the lifelong habit of putting First things First.  And it will be all about Him.

During my time with Him today, He led me to the following video.  And I thank Him for it. 

This video is actually a picture of my spiritual life right now and the work I need the Holy Spirit to do in me.  In fact, in the video, the letter Tommy wrote to God as a small child is the very letter that I would write Him today.   That I am writing to Him right now.

It goes like this:

Dear God,

Today I am turning everything over to You.  I'm not going to hold on to anything any more.  Your Word says that You will make me Your masterpiece and use me to do great things.  I don't see how it's possible.  But I want that with all that I am.  So please do whatever it takes to make me what you want.  I love you God.

Tommy

This is my prayer on the first day of my fast.  Please make me into whatever You want me to be.  I am Yours.

Adveho quis may.
Come what may.
